  • Abstract:
    Every spring, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and its partners sponsor National Work Zone Awareness Week (NWZAW), to bring attention to motorist and worker safety and mobility issues in and around work zones. As roadways are built, maintained, and upgraded with the latest safety features, it is also essential that roadway construction and maintenance zones are safe for workers. FHWA has supported work zone safety efforts across the country for decades and, thanks to the Biden-Harris Administration’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, states and local communities now have significant resources to maintain and rebuild safe roads and bridges and improve safety for all road users. NWZAW is the perfect time to look back at our safety history for an eye on how we can save lives. Work zones contribute to the overall national crash statistics that we all want to see decrease. Unfortunately, the rate of fatalities from all causes nationally has not substantially improved over the last ten years and continued to increase in 2020, including a 21% increase in work zone fatalities involving persons on foot and bicyclists. Since 2015, the annual number of fatalities overall has exceeded 35,000, with millions more injured each year.
